Had this camera for 2 years . Easy to use. Took some great night shots. Problems: However the auto focus feature no longer worked. all pictures came out blurry. I am upset that the camera did not last me as long as I would have liked

The nikon coolpix l12 is a good decent P&S compact with a decent resolution, it is aimed at automatic control, but you can set the white balance , scenemodes. best shot selection, vr on or off. offcourse image quality can be set up to .

The buttons feel cheap, and have a 'twang' sound when you click on it. ...

Enjoyed the small size with all the features. Prints show excellent outdoors color. Problems: The LCD completely washes out in sunlight, although it is set for the maximum contrast. I didn't know where I was pointing, and the pixs are not centered.

This compact camera is very easy to use. Outdoors its produces excellent pictures. For me, the camera does the job. Nice panorama assistant mode. Zooming while filming is nice. For this money (200 €), I cannot complain. Problems: In lowlight conditions and shooting with the anti-shake button activated, the camera produces pictures with a lot of noise.
